Official Sweepstakes Rules

ZipRealty, Inc.

“NEW YEAR, NEW TOY” SWEEPSTAKES

OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

TIMING. The ZipRealty “New Year, New Toy” Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) begins on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 12:00:01 am Pacific Time (“PT”) and ends on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 11:59:59 pm PT (“Sweepstakes Period”). All activities for entries must be completed during the Sweepstakes Period to be eligible.

ELIGIBILITY. The Sweepstakes is open to legal U.S. residents residing in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia, who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry (“Entrant”). The Sweepstakes is void where prohibited or restricted by law. Individuals who hold a professional real estate broker’s or salesperson’s license and their spouses are not eligible to enter or win. Individuals, partners, affiliates or other entities that are affiliated with ZipRealty are not eligible to win. Employees, retirees, and agents of Sponsor and each of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, agencies, distributors, partners, wholesalers and retailers, and members of such employees’ immediate families and individuals living in the same household with such employees, are not eligible to win. Sponsor reserves the right to verify eligibility at any time. All federal, state and local laws apply.

AGREEMENT TO OFFICIAL RULES. Participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes Entrants’ full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules and all decisions of Sponsor.

TO ENTER. Entrant will be entered into the Sweepstakes with one (1) entry when Entrant registers or logs onto the ZipRealty iPhone® app, iPad® app, or AndroidTM app (collectively, “Mobile Apps”) during the Sweepstakes Period. Additionally, Entrant will be entered into the Sweepstakes with five (5) additional entries (with a maximum of twenty (20) entries in the Sweepstakes via this method) each time Entrant uses the “Share” function on the interstitial page of the Mobile App to share the Mobile Apps with another individual during the Sweepstakes Period.

Any false or deceptive entries or acts will render the Entrant ineligible. Any attempted form of entry other than as described in these Official Rules is void. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any Entrant it finds to be tampering with the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation with these Official Rules. Proof of submitting an entry will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Every submission must be manually key stroked and manually entered by the individual participant and repetitive automated electronic submission of entries (including but not limited to entries submitted using any bot, script, macro, or sweepstakes service) are specifically disallowed. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an online Entrant, entries made online will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of entry. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder for that email address. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person assigned to an email address by an internet service provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain.

PRIZE DRAWING. Five (5) prize winners will be selected at random from all eligible entries received. Drawing will take place on or about February 20, 2013. Winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements of these Official Rules including eligibility requirements. Sponsor’s decision as to the administration of the Sweepstakes and prizes awarded is final. Sponsor will notify the potential winners by telephone or email in accordance with the information provided by the Entrant. In the event that Entrant’s contact information changes during the Sweepstakes Period, it is Entrant’s responsibility to notify Sponsor of such change. Potential winners must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Publicity/Liability Release (except where prohibited by law) and a Form W-9 for tax reporting purposes via pre-paid overnight courier within five (5) days of receipt of those documents or potential winner may be disqualified, and the prize may be forfeited. In the event that any prize notification is undeliverable, Sponsor is unable to contact a potential winner, or response to a prize notification is not received within five (5) days of its issuance, the prize may be forfeited. Where a prize is forfeited, an alternate potential winner will be chosen at random from the remaining eligible entries. Drawings will continue until the prize has been awarded.

ALTERNATE METHOD OF ENTRY: Those who wish to utilize the alternative method of entry may enter the Sweepstakes by printing their name, mailing address, age, area code and telephone number on a 3”x5” piece of paper and sending it in an envelope to: ZipRealty New Year, New Toy Sweepstakes, 2000 Powell Street, Suite 300, Emeryville, CA 94608. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by or on January 28, 2013 and received by or on February 7, 2013. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, illegible, mutilated, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified. No facsimiles, mechanical reproductions, alterations or forged entries will be accepted. All mail-in entries must be in separate outer envelopes. Only one mail entry per household. All entries become the sole property of the Sponsor and receipt of those entries will not be acknowledged or returned.

Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes. All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged nor will they be returned. Limit one entry per person regardless of method of entry. By entering, Entrants acknowledge receipt of and compliance with these Official Rules.

Sponsor will send the prize to the respective winners by United States Postal Service or reputable national courier service, with tracking capabilities, at the Sponsor's discretion, to the address provided by winner in the Affidavit of Eligibility. Winners must personally sign for receipt of the prizes. If the prize notification or attempted notifications are returned as undeliverable or are otherwise not acknowledged, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. By accepting the prize, the prize winner acknowledges receipt of and compliance with these Official Rules. All taxes on the prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor will not replace any portion of a lost or stolen prize once it has been mailed to the winner. The prizes are non-transferrable. No prize substitution or cash equivalent allowed by winner.

ODDS OF WINNING. Odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes should fraud, technical failures, or any other factor beyond the reasonable control of Sponsor impair the integrity of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prizes from the eligible submissions received up to the time of impairment. Except where prohibited by law, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes winner’s consent to Sponsor’s use of their names, city and state of residence, likeness, photograph, image and winning entry, in whole or in part, for advertising, publicity, and promotional purposes in any media, online or offline, without further permission, consent, payment or other consideration.
